Susan Mary Radick of Preston Hollow, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Sunday, September 14, 2025 after a prolonged illness. 

Born August 10, 1950 in Jamaica, Queens to Margaret (Sparrow) and William T. Brown, she was a graduate of H. Frank Carey High School and relocated upstate nearly 47 years ago after a whirlwind romance, thanks to the matchmaking of her aunt Catherine Whitbeck. 

Susan loved to read, making her way through multiple newspapers each day. She routinely defeated her family members in the nightly Jeopardy matches, was an excellent cook, and always stayed on top of all the hottest fashions and current affairs. She had countless jobs on Long Island, served as the Office Manager of CZR/FACTS accounting service, but above all, was a devoted wife and amazing mother. 

Aside from her parents, she was predeceased by special aunts Catherine Whitbeck and Isabelle Peek Clapper and brothers-in-law Robert Kemp and Robert Lynk.

Radick (Nicole Esposito) of Pulaski, N.Y. and Zachary C.B.
